First Thing You want to do to improve your Eye Teaming is get a reduced prescription! ... because ...

"In 75% of cases, full strength lens prescriptions for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism produce stress related to the way patients use their eyes together." ​​Roberto Kaplan O.D. Med (Optometrist, Masters in Education)

Top 3 Eye Exercises/ Therapeutic Tools to Improve your Eye Teaming:

Tool #1 Nose Card - two sided Orange/Green.

​After wearing full strength prescriptions for many years, this is an important vision therapy tool for many people.​The Nose card is a simple and effective way to crete more balance between the eyes. Lime Green is a visual relaxant to a dominant eye and the Red/Orange is a visual stimulant that says "wake up" to the other eye.

​Together the colours improve visual processing by reducing stress induced by eye imbalance. ​​ Many people can read 1- 4 lines further on a a visual acuity chart just by putting it on! ​This tool is only $2.50 and can be sent in a small envelope.

Tool #2 Brock String​Buy Ours or Make Your Own

A Brock String is a Serious of 3-5 beads on a 5-20 foot string that is commonly used for building Stereoscopic (3D) vision i.e.) improving eye teaming and spatial abilities.

When the string is held up to the nose, each eye sees a different angle on the string which creates an X (crossing) at the point where both eyes are focused. At the crossing, our eyes perceive a single object, (which is where the the eyes are focused and our mental attention is directed and every other bead is perceived as 'double' or two of them!

If you are not able to see two strings or every bead that you are looking at is not perceived as 'two' or they 'cut in and out' of perception, this means that the signals from one of the eyes is being short circuited.

​Breathe, relax and do NOT strain to achieve the result. Palm your eyes and imagine what you should see. (use your visual memory to help you) Alternatively close one eye and the other to confirm what each eye sees and try again.

​Print the following document (double sided) on a thick piece of card when you cut it out the circles will be on one side and the directions on the other!​​ * Remember to do both Convergence and Divergence directions for best results.

* People who need reading glasses often default to divergence - so make sure it is convergence that you are doing.
